Indian head penny.

Quick and dirty shot before it goes to a photographer. BTW, is this a rotated reverse?

It looks as though any rotation that the coin has is within Mint specifications.

 

Thanks. I couldn't tell if the coin has a rotated reverse, or PCGS didn't place it upright correctly.

 

It looks like a very nice coin.

It looks like a very nice coin. I remember buying my 1904 Indian cent on a bid board when I was about 12 years old. I vividly remember paying $5 for it. It is worth a few dollars more today. :smile If you want to see it, I'll look for a photo.

 

+1... I have stopped trying to figure it out.

 

I can't stop laughing!

 

It looks like a full five-degree rotation. Was the mint OK with that in 1904? I don't know much about that sort of thing.

It's a gorgeous piece.

 

The coin is definitely not aligned in the holder correctly. I'm thinking that's most or all of the rotation you're seeing.
